Joke: New Man; Old Man

Return to the Jokes Index
A man was taken to court for stealing an item from a store. The man said to the judge, “Your Honor, I’m a Christian. I’ve become a new man. But I have and old nature also. It was not my new man who did wrong. It was my old man.”

The judge responded, “Since it was the old man that broke the law, we’ll sentence him to 60 days in jail. And since the new man was an accomplice in the theft, we’ll give him 30 days too. I therefore sentence you both to 90 days in jail.”
